Thank you! Two little words that can brighten someones day and make them feel special. Now that Christmas is over and the New Year has begun, it is time for reflection and to be thankful for what you have in life. Why don’t you take a moment, make a list of all the people in your life that have made a difference, and send them a message of thanks.

As you saw from my earlier post, my crafting area is a total mess. While doing a quick Internet search on organization of crafting supplies, I found a few nifty ideas and tips that I wanted to share.

Add jars to a shelf for easy storage of buttons, ribbons, and other small embellishments.

Prevent pen and marker frustration by storing your writing utensils sideways. The ink won't pool or dry out. And it is easy to find the color you need.

Keep a picnic utensil container on your crafting table to store items neatly. Plus, the handle makes it easy to take on the go.

Fill a notebook with magazine clippings, color palettes, sketches, and other items to keep inspiration at your fingertips. A purse-size notebook is ideal for when you get those creative sparks while out and about.

Make your craft supplies inspirational and functional by arranging items by color. It'll cut down on planning time and brighten your work space

About the Creativity Bugs

The Creativity Bugs are avid crafters who got into crafting at a very early age. The love of crafting was inherited from their mom, who loving taught Sue and sister Sandy how to make something special out of next to nothing.

Creativity Bug Sue is a crafty crafter whose first crafting projects include potholders made with string loops, doll furniture made from recycled cereal boxes and plastic containers, and vases made from old bottles covered with masking tape and inks. Not surprising her first Brownie badge earned was for arts & crafts.

Creativity Bug Sandy is a crafter, artist, and seamstress. Art classes in high school broaden her horizons, gave her a flare for color and design, and a desire to turn trash into treasures. No one has a better knack at finding diamonds in the rough at garage sales & thrift stores and turning them into unique gifts than Sandy.

This blog was created to show case some of Sue and Sandy's favorite things; scrapbooking, card making, paper crafting, cooking/baking, sewing, reading, how to's, and creating treasures out of found things.
